[Birdbycatch] South America Strategy on Albatross and Petrel Conservation

[Liz Mitchell]

Hello,

At the following website you will find the PDF document, "Report on the 
South American Workshop on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels" 
held in Uruguay in September of last year: 
<http://www.wcmc.org.uk/cms/pdf/Lima_Punta Este - Albatross - report - 
final.pdf>.

The South American Strategy for the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels 
was agreed upon at this workshop and is included in this document.  This 
initiative is encouraging and furthers the international Agreement for the 
Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels 
<http://www.ea.gov.au/biodiversity/international/albatross/agreement-english.html> 
and the FAO International Plan of Action for the Reducing Incidental Catch 
of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries <http://www.fao.org/fi/ipa/incide.asp>.

Best regards,

Liz Mitchell, Seabird Bycatch Project
